Nice seasonal themer, though it’s a bit thin with only 22A and 37A participating in the theme.
Slightly unfair cluing at 12D. The name EUGENE is pretty common, but clued as a name for a Chinese actor I never heard of, I was looking for something exotic, and not knowing either TEGU or ONI, I gave up and used reveal.
Also there is a dup with 21D SEA and 46A REDSEA.

I agree about the theme being thin, which causes the puzzle to be less satisfying to finish. I ended up in the same scenario with 12D, with blanks for just TEGU and ONI, but was about to figure out EUGENE because I know that Try Guys is a YouTube channel with American men. So, I do not think it was an unfair clue.
